clerk of the United States Circuit
Coart of this city today and beganlbis
argument. after two years of evidence
taking. in thegoverumeut'a suit to die-

violations oi the Sherman act.
The argument was heard by the full

Mr. Kellogg for the government was
Assistant Attorney General 0 B Mor-
rison. of Chicago. who will segue cer-
tain phases of the government‘ s case.
The defense had half a score of law-
yore. including its principal attorners,
Messrs. Milhurn. of New York; Rosen-
thsl, 0! Chicago; J u, of Philadel-
pills. and Watson. of Pittsburg:
With but little by way of prelliniuur
lea Mr. Kellogg plunged into his sub
loot. He commenced with a review of
the evidence taken by the government
before discussing the law applicable
to his case. He told of the combine
nos elected by John D Rackofeller.
William‘ Rockefeller and Henry M.
Fission in 1819, conceived, he declar-
ed. to effect a. monopoly of the petio-
leum trade. both domestic and export.
it was at that moment. upcoming t0
the federal laivyer. that the alleged ii
legal conspiracy to monopolize the oil
trade of the country was conceived.
Later, said Mr. Kellogg, Henry H. Rog-
ers. John D. Archbold. Oliver H. Payne
and Charles M. .Pratt were taken into
the conspiracy by the other defen-
dants. The special attorney general

Its stock interests pooled in the hands
'of three trustees. From 1882 contin-
ued Mr. Kellogg. to 1899. the dcfen
dapts' interests were in the form of a
trust controlled by nine trustees. This
trust~ declared illegal by the Ohio
to the present time, said Mr. Kellogg,
concluding that portion of his narra-
tive, has taken the form of a holding
corporation. the Stoddard Oil Company

corporations in alleged restraint of

Mr. Kellogg thou retraced his stone.

ST. LOUIS. Mo.. April 5.41m gov-

Court of the United States for the
eastern division of the Eastern Judicial
District of Missouri. its brief in the
case of the United States against the
Standard Oil Company. of New, .ler-
sey. by which it is sought to dimlve
that corporation. in this brief. the his.
tory ‘ot the company from its inception
to the present time is reviewed and
the declaration is made that the teati-
mony shows that .thev guano defen-
dants have from the n t pursued a
system of unfair competition against
their cemp‘e‘titora‘t whereby the indoo‘

company in 1906 were about 112 per
cent on the capital stock actually paid
in and about 105 per cent on II liberal
valuation of the capital used. it is
also shown by the further last that
the prices to these railroads are sub-
stantially double the prices charged ho
a fe‘w favored lines, notably the Penn.
syivania. For instance, the brief says.
the New York Central Railroad for ten
years has paid about 100 per cent. pol
gallon more than the Pennsylvania. it
is also stated that wherever the Stan-
dard can do so. it has made contracts
whereby it has either marketed a part
or all oi the product of the indepen-
dent refineries. or has limited the out-
put of the some.
One of the evidences of the monopo-
ly of the defendants. it is charged. id
its enoromus earnings. These earnings
are summarised as follows: The Sand-
durd Oil Trust and the' Standard Oil
Company on an investment of 869 024, -
480 had earned up to the end of 1906
8838. 783. 783. Adding the estimated
profits of 1907 and 1908. we have sub-
stantially. the brief states; a billion
dollars earned by this cornpsny in 27
years with an original investment of
about 869.000.000.
Further on the brief says:
"it has usually been claimed for
large corporations in this country that
they have increased business and de
creased the cost to theIcousuIner. but
in the case of the Standard Oil Com-
pany, it has during ten or fifteen
years actually increased the price to
the retailer, and this a good deal more
than the prices of other products
throughout the country, although the
price of Ms raw material and cost of
manufacture and solo during those
years has increased very little. it auy.‘
it is stated that during the years
from 1874 to 1888 the Standard ob-
tained control of practically all of the
pipe lines than existing and brought:
them together under the cent”)! of the
National Transit Company. and ever
since it has sought to prevent or due-
troy competition in pipe line business.
It first sought to control the tidewuisi
pipe company. then the only pipe llnl'
no the seaboard. and succeeded in gel
ting an agreement with the company
for division of the business.
Through this» and other agreements
with other companies. and purchases.
the Standard it is alleged. has at the
.piesent time control of about 95 per
cent. of the transportation of crude
oil to the Atlantic Seaboard. which by
reason of the large percentage of oil
“exported gives; it a tremendous advan-
tage. Recognising the importance to
the Standard of railway transportation

and other,s one each.
The brief says that "the governnibnt
does not wish to be understood as dis
couraging enterprises or as taking a
position against legitimate competi-
tion, but if the Sherman Act means
anything in this country, it means a
